A ring is a ring

Sometimes you find yourself in like a hotel or something
Like like in California
Yeah
And then uh
You just see like all the people of the fucking sea
You know what I'm saying?

I know what your saying

Like when you look into a fucking flame and you see the heavens of earth
The heavens of the earth
You know when you see the heavens of the earth
And all of a sudden you realise that forgot
Your... your hat

That you forgot your hat

Yeah in Hotel California
So you have to go back to Hotel California and just...
Go knocking on the door and say
Hello, I just saw the heavens of the earth but I forgot my hat
Damn you can't enter the heavens of the earth without your hat
No but you know that feeling tho
You can't
But you want to
But you can't
Because you don't have a hat
Like
Like there's some kind of dresscode
You know
In order to have like a good life
Like, you like when
Sometimes you don't have the right shoes to enter
You know
You can't play volleyball when you have like dirty shoes or something

Nah man, you can't
You just can't"

You can't go to a fucking dancehall with like
You know
Like, running shoes
But similarly

But what if you could
You know, what if you could

Yeah but it's the same thing if you look at an earring

Explosion
Damn
Damn
If you look at an earring

You can't put it on your finger

This is exactly what I mean
You know an earring
You can't put it on your finger
I mean you could
You could
But you can't
Noo

You know, you know what I'm saying
Like there is some kind of social construction around the earring
That it only belongs into the ear but not onto the finger
A social construction
Yeah, and this is a problem with like racism we face the day
Like
It's all just basically one fucking ring

And a ring is a ring

And a ring is a fucking ring
And we ain't fucking Frodo Baggins if you know what I'm saying
